> A day after a missile attack on Riyadh airport killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300, Yemen's Houthis warned travellers against using Saudi airports and airspace, while saying airports in Mecca and Medina would not be targeted. Riyadh airport is closed until at least Sunday night. The Houthis have not formally claimed responsibility, though Saudi officials blamed them; the Saudi-led coalition vowed a tough response.
